Abstract

Let FF be a real quadratic field in which a fixed prime pp is inert, and E0E_0 be an imaginary quadratic field in which pp splits; put E=E0FE=E_0 F. Let Sh1,n1{{\rm Sh}}_{1,n-1} be the special fiber over Fp2\mathbb{F}_{p^2} of the Shimura variety for G(U(1,n1)×U(n1,1))G(U(1,n-1)\times U(n-1,1)) with hyperspecial level structure at pp for some integer n2n\geq 2. Let Sh1,n1(Kp1){{\rm Sh}}_{1,n-1}(K_{\mathfrak{p}}^{1}) be the special fiber over Fp2\mathbb{F}_{p^2} of a Shimura variety for G(U(1,n1)×U(n1,1))G(U(1,n-1)\times U(n-1,1)) with parahoric level structure at pp for some integer n2n\geq 2. We exhibit elements in the higher Chow group of the supersingular locus of Sh1,n1{{\rm Sh}}_{1,n-1} and study the stratification of Sh1,n1.{{\rm Sh}}_{1,n-1}. Moreover, we study the geometry of Sh1,n1(Kp1){{\rm Sh}}_{1,n-1}(K_{\mathfrak{p}}^{1}) and prove a form of Ihara lemma. With Ihara lemma, we prove the the arithmetic level raising map is surjective for n=2,3.n=2,3.
